My friends and I come to try and come at least once a month! Very cool place and great atmosphere. If you're looking for a place to come and watch sports as well, then this place is for you! Food is delicious and good prices. Costumer service is amazing! I have nothing but kind words for anyone who has helped me out here. 10/10 place! read more

Fun place if you want to play pool. They have various microbrews, bottled and tao beers, some wine and non alcoholic beverages. They have small bites, snacks and appetizer food. They may have more. Big screens, seating, bar area. read more

The Bank Shot - Beer Bar Near Me - Elk Grove, California

Nice spot that offers beer on tap by local breweries, cocktails and bar food. Nice pool hall - clean and offers a sitting area. Food was as you would expect for a spot like this - deep fried, small portions but yummy enough to pair with a few glasses of beer. Service was mid - they were polite but not welcoming. The gentleman was more friendly than the young lady. They have HappY Hour which means pool table is half off otherwise its $16 an hour.v read more

I've been wanting to take my teenagers to a pool hall because I grew up with my uncle owning a pool hall in SF. Bank Shot has 8 tables to choose from and you can be a beginner or a pro. Visited on a Sunday at 5pm and it wasn't too busy. They charge by the hour which isnt bad. They offer small menu of bar food and drinks which was pretty good. I got to try their home-made egg rolls. I was told the owner's mom makes them. I give it a thumbs-up. There's a seating area you can also chill and talk with friends. My kids had fun playing 3 games with their friends. It took about 2.5hrs. Place is clean, staff is friendly and there's tvs around if you're interested in watching a game. We definitely plan on coming back. I also try my best to support the local business in EG. read more

If you ask any of my family members or close friends, one of the things they would share about me is that I believe in and practice healthy competition. Therefore, I had my friendly game face on when my wife and I entered The Bankshot on a rainy Saturday evening to hangout with our friends. After an employee finished tuning one of the many televisions to a Warriors playoff game, she made her way to the bar area and acknowledged us. Following explaining how the pool table reservation process works, we ordered drink. I opted for a delicious fruit forward Mango brew, while my wife ordered the Soju Peach Mango (a little bit too sweet for my liking); please note that you can sample any of the brews on tap. Our couple friends ordered wings, fries, jalapeño poppers, and drinks. The food arrived very hot (not complaining); although I'm not a fan of bar food, the jalapeño poppers were pretty satisfying. While doing some well-needed catching up, we took turns shooting pool. Ironically, we were able to complete a game in the allotted one hour time slot! This was the perfect couples rainy day date night activity. With the exception of two gentlemen, the place was dang near empty. Which was a blessing and perfect timing for us because I've heard that they can be extremely busy. In the past I have visited Blue Cue whenever I wanted to shoot pool; however, I'm happy that I can make the five minute drive from my home to support a local business like The Bank Shot! read more

It's so great to have a nice place to play pool in EG. Good tables set up, good beer, and friendly crowd. Thank you Russ!

Awesome spot for billiards in Elk Grove ideal for hanging out with friends, casual date night, or even a fun family activity (if your kids are older). There are about 6 pool tables in the place and a good number of beers on tap. They check your ID upon entry if you plan on drinking, stamp your wrist with literally a stamp that reads "I'm Old" (lol) , then you can head over to the bar to grab beers. ID check isn't a requirement if you don't plan on drinking. They have several IPAs, but I went with a sour. I also saw a cider and seltzer option so they seem to carry a good variety. All the pool tables were taken when we came on a Friday night around 9pm, so we put our name on the waitlist with the bartender and had our first beer at the bar. We were able to get a pool table after about 15-20 minutes and enjoyed about 3 games and another round of drinks. They have a juke box (thank you to those who paid to get some music going). If no one in the place pays for songs then you basically just hear the sound of balls banging everywhere, and the vibe is much better when the place has music on (kinda wish they just had music on instead of no music unless people specifically pay for it on the juke box). Playing pool is about $16 per hour as of 2024 and beers were about 8-10 bucks each. We see ourselves coming back when we have family and friends visiting since our families would enjoy bank shot. read more

The Bank Shot - Sour & IPA - Beer Bar Near Me - Elk Grove, California

My wife, Lana and I have been coming to Bankshot since it first opened. The pandemic significantly delayed the opening and we would occasionally drive by to see if it had finally opened. We have always loved this place. Rob and Rose, the previous owners, did a great job getting this place started. The new owners, Russ and his son took a great place and made it even better with its focus on quality, service, and community. The tables have been upgraded, the balls have been upgraded, and they even started a live stream on their YouTube channel. On any given day you see brand new and seasoned players, families, and friends all playing and having a great time. I highly recommend Bankshot. Whether it's your first time playing or you've been playing for years, you're sure to have a good time! read more

Pool tables and prices for pool are not bad, beer prices are normal. The food options though? Horrendous. EIGHT DOLLARS for an order of onions rings and the amount of onion rings you get is tiny. Basically a small order at a fast food place. They're decent onion rings, but for $8? No. If I go back there for pool, I will absolutely not order food. Complete rip off. read more

We went to The Bank Shot because our son that is serving in the US Navy is in town. He has become a big fan of pool. We went on a Sunday afternoon. The service was great the woman that was working was so nice. I love that they have happy hour everyday. We will keep going back. read more

Nice place to spend time with family and friends. Me and my son always go here when we have time

First time here today and would come again! It's a smaller pool place than others I've been to, but I like the less crowded places. My 3 star rating is for that I think someone severely needs to get this place a hood because you can really smell when they're frying something and it will attach to your clothes. Also not entirely sure how the music situation is, but there were moments of silence because no customers went to their machine to queue up songs and I don't think it should be dependent on the customers. I'm fine with paying to play music, but it isn't great when no music is playing. read more

I've given The Bank Shot two chances, and unfortunately, both experiences left me disappointed. On my first visit, the wait time was over 7 hours--yes, 7 hours. Despite the absurd wait, I decided to give them another try. The second time, I called ahead to inquire about the wait. I was told there was one person ahead of me, and it was strictly "first come, first served." When I arrived, I checked in and was informed that the person who called ahead wasn't there, so I was next in line. After waiting for at least 20 minutes, a family walked in and checked in. As a table cleared up, I approached the bar to confirm I was next, only to be told that the person who called in earlier (but wasn't there when I arrived) was now ahead of me. The inconsistency and lack of transparency in their seating policy are frustrating. They claim it's "first come, first served," but it seems like they pick and choose who gets priority. I won't be returning and cannot recommend this establishment. You'll never know how long you'll actually have to wait, and the unclear process makes for an overall unpleasant experience. read more

Appetizers were delicious, the mood was fantastic. The staff were pleasantly friendly.

love this place, new owner put in a lot of new features and pool tables and gadgets - fun time with the fam and friends!

I've been to The Bank Shot a few times now, me I love the happy hour deals. I believe Mondays are half off food and Tuesdays are $6 beer. This is a great spot if you want to watch sports and play some pool. Very clean and service is on point! I also believe that during happy hour pool tables are 50% off! read more

It was so fun and I could've stayed even longer than the couple hours I was there! Definitely recommend as a group hangout or small party! # BankShotBilliards @bankshot_elkgrove #buzzybooth read more

A part of me wants to gatekeep since it's a nice quiet location, but I'll share the goods. Quiet, great place to kick back and decompress. Only a couple of groups while we were there, less than half full. No smoke inside, great since our group had two toddlers. Didn't see the bill so can't advise on pricing. read more

The workers were awesome, and knowledgable about the drink menu. I really enjoyed the photo feature that was free when you first walk in and also the other background drop for pictures too. Definitely going to have to be a new go to spot for me. read more

We came for an after party and was pleasantly shocked to see this within the area! The shopping center where it is located has plenty of parking. Walking in, they have extra seating when walk in so you can socialize with others. Plenty of table to go around, and a good selection of beer to choose from. I felt like the area was a good place to go if your interested in billiards. read more

The Bank Shot - Beer Bar Near Me - Elk Grove, California

Wanted to practice some pool shots without the atmosphere of a pool hall. There are 8 Olhausen tables, these are high end tables and serviced by Capitol Billiards the best in Northern California. The beer is very cold and served in a glass, unfortunately they were out of 'Trejo's Cerveza' however they served me a similar lager it was very good. There is a small counter to drink beer and eat. The guys at the counter were very polite and even brought the beer to the table. Customer service is fantastic. There are TVs to watch sports, the Rams 49er game was on for Monday Night Football. They have a sense of humor, the sign over the urinal had me in stitches. This reminds of me of the classy pool parlors in LA, only smaller. Will return to try the ''Trejo's Cerveza'. read more

Customer service has gone downhill and I'm unsure as to why. I was just in recently and have noticed new staff that appear to be younger than 21? I was sitting at the bar for what seemed to be about longer than 20 minutes and nobody seemed to notice me even though we had made eye contact... When they were able to tend to me, it seemed like the staff was unaware of their own menu. My friends and I were on the waitlist and I also noticed that other people I have never seen before received a table before me and so I'm wondering if the owner is favoring people? Anyway, I won't becoming back to this establishment. Terrible. The last time I was here was when the establishment had first opened and they were really great. I believe there could be some improvements made... read more

This used to be a fun date spot on the weekends, not anymore. We've supported The Bank Shot since it opened, we are always looking to support local. I have 5 kids (2with disabilities) so we're loving the family vibe with the exception of weekends. After around 8pm Fri & Sat they used to have a bouncer come in and card, allowing it to function as a true "bar & pool hall" at night on the weekends PERFECT. However, that is no longer what you can expect. After months of going through some major family transitions (including being laid off and losing my income) we decided to venture out for a lil date night this past weekend and were surprised to see that it was after 8pm when we arrived (after dropping our special needs daughter at the Senior Ball with her para) as there was no bouncer. We grabbed a beer and a small table to play a game of backgammon that we had brought from home. There was one other party in the seating area ... 4 adults and 3 children. By 9pm the kids were BORED. The parents were enjoying their night out (I love that and "get it") but I had left mine at home for a date night so when all 3 children moved to a table on the other side of ours and started using it as a jungle gym ... rolling on the floor, sitting and standing on the table, doing a wheelbarrow with their feet on the walls ... of course laughing and giggling (as children should and do) right in our ear as they chose a table right next to ours to have their grand OUTDOOR adventure activities on. Disappointing but, it's ok, they're children. My husband went to the counter and asked the male and the younger female if they would assist with asking the parents to address their children. Unfortunately, the guests were friends of the owner so we received no help from the staff. We decided that we would just finish our game snacks, and beers and then takeoff ... we would keep this in mind the next time we were looking for an adult date night. However, the parents had noticed that my husband spoke to the people at the counter about it and they stood up and started recording the kids doing stunts on the walls & tables ... encouraging them to do crazier stunts, taking the chaotic activity up a level. My husband said, I just don't understand it and out of no where, one of the females to my back started a full verbal assault on me. I was caught completely off guard, as I was facing my husband and the wall. She started yelling and saying that she is friends with the owner (Rob) and that her kids can do whatever the F- they want. The staff did nothing to address the situation. I honestly feared my husband would stop tolerating her absurd abusive behavior and lose himself. We left our drinks and food. This is SO unfortunate and disappointing. it's always been full of family and friends of the owners...that was part of the appeal, but if your "houseguests" become unruly and attack strangers (loyal customers), unprovoked, staff should handle that maintaining safety and order. read more

I love this pool spot, and I'm so happy I found it considering they're newly opened! I don't play pool, but my boyfriend and his cousins loves to. I literally just come here for their brew area. I love that they have so many choices of beer to pick from, and they let you sample as well. I got the chance to meet Rose and the other server, and they were awesome. They're very friendly, attentive, and easy to talk to. My boyfriend and his cousins love love love coming here. We've been back here twice. They say compared to other billiards, this spot is a lot cleaner and more fun. We usually stay here for about 4 hours or until they close. They have a machine you can play music off of using an app as well as game machines. For their food menu, we've tried their chicken bites, chicken wings, French fries, and onion rings. I believe they're still expanding their menu, but everything that we ordered was delicious. It's even more delicious when you're getting buzzed off beer and shooting pool. I'd highly recommend this pool spot to anyone who enjoys playing pool or accompanying people who do. Give this spot a try and you won't regret it :) read more

Such a fun place! I came here with a couple friends on a Sunday and had a great time. We found parking easily and were greeted right away upon entering. The place is clean and decorated so nicely! They have some tables and high chairs to sit and enjoy food and beer at as well as plenty of tables to choose from to play at. They even have some arcade games! I was amazed with all the local beers that they have on tap! They rotate them every week which is awesome because you can try so many different beers! My friends and I played pool for 1-2 hours and although we were pretty bad, we had so much fun. The tables are all in fantastic condition. Roze helped us out throughout the entire time we were there. She was very knowledgeable about the beers, very patient and kind, and played great music. Can't wait to come back :) read more

This is a really great spot to hang out in Elk Grove! It's laid back, fun, and a non-intimidating. I've been here twice and had a blast both times. My husband and I came on a Thursday night around 7:30 and grabbed two beer flights ($12 each). All of the tables were being used so we sat at the dining area to snack on jalapeño poppers and chicken egg rolls. The staff member said that the chicken egg rolls are homemade by the owner! We played tic tac toe, battleship, and guess who while we were on the pool table wait list. We didn't have to wait long and played for about an hour ($14 per hour). We loved the chicken egg rolls so much we ordered it again and this time added mozzarella sticks. It felt like small town hangout vibes. Overall a fun date night spot in Elk Grove if you're looking for something low key. We would have loved more game options and maybe an electronic way to view the waitlist. read more

It was date night and we didn't want to travel far so a quick search on Yelp lead us to The Bank Shot. It was a Sunday night around 8pm and there were surprisingly lots of people. Thankfully we were able to get a table right away, it'll set you back $14 an hour. They have 6 tables and they are decently spaced which is a plus. I've been to pool halls where they crowd the tables so close to each other that you're constantly waiting on the person next to you to shoot so you can go or getting jabbed by a pool stick. Beers are on tap and they are all craft beers. Wish they had a little more selection of sours and seltzers. They also offer small bites, we got the egg rolls which we enjoyed. For 2 hours of pool, egg rolls and a few beers we spent $60 which was by far one of our cheapest date nights but we really enjoyed ourselves! The Bank Shot is definitely on our list of places to return to. read more

Came to this place on Sunday, July 27, 2025 at 1:30 pm. I really enjoyed the Little Red Chevette by Oak Park Brewery, and I would have had two or three more. Unfortunately, I was close out after the first pour, and was never asked if I wanted another. As a matter of fact, the bartender never even said one word to me. Kinda strange imo. If she worked for me, I would demand a smile while greeting the patrons, and I would encourage her to ask all customers if they want to order food or another drink (as long as they are not too intoxicated). I strongly recommend The Bank Shot to find another position for this girl, she's definitely not bartender material and she is costing you business. read more

Decided to spend our Saturday night at Bank Shot! The customer service was great, they were really friendly and gave good suggestions on a beer. They said they rotate their beer choices weekly so that's nice to be able to try different ones. I liked how clean they were, wiping each billard table down before the next group could use it and I saw them frequently wiping the bar and tables down. There is 6 pool tables and a couple of machine games in the corner. It was fairly cheap, $14 per table no time limit. We ordered the mozzarella sticks and chicken bites and they were both really good! Would recommend this place! read more

It's about time Elk Grove got a decent pool place on this side of town! The Bank Shot is a pretty cool and chill place to hang out and play pool with friends. They have a nice variety and choice of beers from local breweries as well as a cider and hard seltzer option. Games were half off on this 4th of July which was nice! We all got a little hungry so we ordered their chicken wings which came with our choice of sauce on the side as well as some crispy delicious fries. The wings were on point and paired up with our beers perfectly. We will definitely return to The Bank Shot! read more

What a fun place! It's nice to have a new spot to hang out in Elk Grove with later hours. My boyfriend and I visited this place on July 4th in the afternoon and it was pretty chill. $14 per hour for Billiards with 6 people max per table. 8 tables available. Happy hour is from 3-6pm on weekdays with Billiards half off. They have a pretty basic menu of small bites and a decent rotating menu of beers. We were primarily there for Billiards, so can't speak on the beer. Wings and fries kept us satiated, but nothing to write home about. I imagine this place can/will get packed at later hours, so I'll probably keep coming here during their happy hour so I know it's guaranteed to find a table with my friends and get a discount. This place is worth checking out if you're in the area! read more

Absolutely fabulous place to chill, hang out, grab a bite, have a beer or two, and most importantly, test your pool skills! Great location, plenty of parking, and great professional and friendly staff. I believe the tables are 8 ft and it's $14 per hour. They have a good selection of beer, from someone that likes a more fruity cider, like me, to someone that likes a dark IPA. For now, they have a tournament on Wednesdays. But, more to come. It's a family oriented place, so bring the whole family out and have some fun. read more

TL;DR: cool inexpensive family friendly place to enjoy some billiards and finger food. Location: Located off Elk Grove Blvd, The Bank Shot is Elk Grove's newest Inside: The Bank Shot is open Monday to Friday 3pm - 11pm and Saturday & Sunday 12pm to 11pm. The space is well it and bright. I came during the soft opening and noticed a lot of parents teaching their children how to play billiards. Inside the Bank Shot has 8 professional pool tables, jukebox, several tvs with sports on, an Instagram wall, air hockey table, clean bathrooms, and plenty of tables to sit and hang out. It looks like a great space to hang out, play some billiards and enjoy a few local beers. Right now they serve finger food (fries, wings, onion rings etc). Prices were very reasonable and everything I ordered was cooked to perfection. As of this review they have a pretty good happy hour 3pm-6pm they offer half off billiards and $1 off beers. Overall: I'd definitely go back and bring my niece and nephew to enjoy some air hockey and teach them what I know about billiards, lol. There's plenty of tasty snacks for them to enjoy while I can have a frosty ipa. read more

Came to the grand opening on a Friday and it was a packed house. They had live music, raffles with awesome prizes. I just love the ambience of the place. They have variety of beer on tap to choose from. From the setup to the drinks, food, owners and staff everything was on point! Especially for being extremely busy, they were able to accommodate to the customers as best as they could. Everyone looked happy and was enjoying the night. If you're looking for place to hang out with friends or family and shoot some pool, enjoy a few beers and snack on some delicious munchies this place is for you! It's definitely great to see a family owned business care about their customers. I highly recommended to come support your local business. You won't be disappointed. I can't wait to come back. read more
